• Outdoor hiking attire to stay warm where you can peel off layers once we warm up. We will warm up!

Description of Hot Stone Restore Relaxation Class:

Enjoy Vicki Tree signature relaxation group class that "bathes" you in stones, blankets and gentle touch for 90 minutes. We will begin with a light 10 minute stretch. The rest of the class consists of deeply soothing, long-held restorative yoga postures while you feel the warmth and gentle weight of heated stones being placed onto your body. Lots of magical extras of scents, scalp massage, sand bags and touch. This process fosters an experience of relaxation and grounding and will leave you feeling soothed and nurtured by using a “peeling on” and "peeling off” process of stones, blankets and extras!

Healthy Lunch Menu:

• Snack: Healthy Energy Balls (Almond Butter Chocolate Chip & Coconut Cranberry) Made with a base of almond butter, oats, dates, ground flax seed
• Main: We will contact you at a later date for your preference. 
• Option 1: Roasted Chicken Pesto Wrap (Chopped roasted chicken with fresh pesto sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions in a tortilla wrap. Spinach mandarin goat cheese salad with balsamic dressing.) 
• Option 2: Hummus Vegetable Wrap (Fresh lettuce, cucumbers and roasted red peppers with a homemade tangy hummus in a tortilla wrap. Spinach mandarin goat cheese salad with a balsamic dressing).
• Dessert: Homemade cookies (Delicious grass-fed butter swirl shortbread: dark chocolate macadamia or lemon glazed)

Location: 3626 Line 5 North, Horseshoe Valley (For google purposes Coldwater or Shanty Bay as Horseshoe does not come up but it is Horseshoe Valley area right near resort NOT COLDWATER town). Please note - access Line 5 north from Horseshoe Valley Road, not INGRAM as that bottom half of Line 5 North is closed in winter!

Gentle Heads Up: We have three young Australian Shepards on site who are super friendly and love to be petted. They do not go inside the studio. Should you have any issues with dogs, do let us know and we will be sure to keep them out of area. They love people and occasionally bark, but really want cuddles and to be seen loved and remembered! Don’t we all though?

We are so very excited to have your group at Vicki Tree for a day of refresh and chillax!

Vicki Tree is a wellness centre that provides a blissful “experience” of peace, calm and balance for individuals or corporate groups. The offerings include wellness classes, massages, workshops, corporate retreats, celebration of life, small gatherings and a variety of events. 

Nestled deep in the woods on 43 acres of mature forest in Horseshoe Valley, the modern barn-like studio houses over 3,200 sq ft of space to serve & surpass your needs. Separate from the barn studio is a 750 sq ft structure called our “Forest Plank”. The name rings true, as the plank is equipped with full bug screens, towering ceilings, and breathtaking views/forest sounds – all while being literally outside in the woods

This “gem” of a spot is located at 3626 Line 5 North in Horseshoe Valley and backs onto the Copeland Forest, providing a tranquil “experience” that you will never forget.

We do not offer refunds on event registrations, but you may be able to transfer your registration to another participant if you can no longer attend.
